After returning home, Cao Yang tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

It’s not because I’m sorry for Feiyue’s boss and cannot acquire his company.

But the acquisition proposal proposed by Cheng Yue today reminded Cao Yang of some things.

Some possibilities.

Since I have been reborn and have successfully won the Penguin, is it possible to look farther and acquire things that may not be accessible to the previous life?

Speaking of which, Cao Yang has now encountered an unprecedented golden age-

The U.S. Nasdaq bubble burst and the stock market is in a slump. It is expected that it will not be able to recover slowly until 2002.

Moreover, the upcoming September 11 incident in two months will make the United States worse.

In Cao Yang's impression, after the end of 9/11, the US stock market fell sharply, especially the Nasdaq, and fell from more than 4,000 points before the bubble burst in 2000 to around 800 points in 2002, almost shrinking by 4/5.

Taking advantage of this time to acquire some companies that will be useful to Bomi in the United States in the future?

Cao Yang felt that this was very likely.

As a gamer, Cao Yang thought of the company [Blizzard] at the first time.

Blizzard can be said to be one of the peak companies in the game industry. There is a saying that "Blizzard produces, must be a high-quality product". Blizzard's valuation this year does not seem to be very high.

Cao Yang can't remember the specific details, but you can ask someone to ask.

If Blizzard can be taken down, then it should be good to take the global route by establishing itself in the United States and selling games through Blizzard.

In the future, a game called World of Warcraft will sweep the world.

If you want to eat up the game engine, you can first acquire EpicGame that has not grown up, and in the future, you can integrate it with your Aier game platform and become the world's largest gaming platform before steam.

...

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, Cao Yang couldn't sleep and sat up from the bed.

Pei Siqing's gasp came from behind.

"What's wrong? Insomnia?" Miss Min rubbed her eyes.

"It's okay, your feet are not well yet, have a good rest. I thought of something that needs to be recorded."

Cao Yang stood up, walked to the study next door, turned on the computer, and skillfully climbed over the wall to check it out.

The later the night, Cao Yang's eyes flashed.

He remembered that he came alone.

...

The next day, I still had hot pot in the old place.

IDG's Asia head Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised.

"What? Why did Mr. Cao think of asking me to have hot pot?"

"Hehe, that's it." Cao Yang put a piece of beef in his bowl and said with a smile, "I have something to ask Mr. Xiong."

"I dare not ask for advice."

Compared to the previous few meetings, Xiong Xiaoge seems much happier now.

This seems to be the first time Cao Yang has contacted him in nearly a year.

Previously, Xiong Xiaoge's proposal to invest in Bomi was rejected by Cao Yang. Will there be some turning point this time?

"If Mr. Cao wants to raise funds, IDG will definitely be very happy."

A year ago, Xiong Xiaoge's valuation of Bomi was about 1 billion. So far, when Bomi's game platform was released, it was worth counting a few more. Now Xiong Xiaoge judged that Bomi's valuation should be between 2 billion and 3 billion.

It was also a miracle that Penguin’s company was resurrected in Cao Yang’s hands. At first, everyone had a broken mind for the commercialization of Penguin. Now Cao Yang easily broke through with a gaming platform, and by the way, he also raised the Penguin’s valuation.

IDG regrets it a little. It was too early to leave the market, otherwise, it would have been a lot of money to stay in Penguin equity now.

According to Xiong Xiaoge's estimate, Penguin's company looks at least 100 million or 200 million.

I'm afraid it will be higher in the future.

"Bomie is working very well now." Cao Yang smiled, "I actually want to ask for advice on what to do if I want to acquire or invest in an American company."

"Um?"

Xiong Xiaoge raised his head in surprise.

Has Bomi expanded to this point?

"Which one do you want to acquire?"

"Well... I want to be the major shareholder of Apple?" Cao Yang asked.

"Puff...cough cough cough..."

Xiong Xiaoge coughed because of choking, so he quickly picked up the beer next to him and took a sip.

"Brother Xiong, you are also Chinese. I can actually see that you are very concerned about the country's enterprises and do not treat you as an outsider to ask you."

"It's not this problem..."

Xiong Xiaoge waved his hand.

He is indeed very concerned about the development of China's enterprises, otherwise he would not have attracted IDG to invest in foreign investment at home.

However, what Cao Yang said was a bit beyond his understanding.

"I remember yesterday that the stock price of APPLE seemed to be at $7. The overall valuation... was about $7 billion. Now the major shareholder with the most equity is about 6 to 7 percentage points. If you want to become a major shareholder, you have to take out less than 600 million."

600 million is US dollars, which is worth almost 5 billion soft sister coins according to the current exchange rate.

"Uh..." Cao Yang didn't expect that he would actually have so much money.

He thought that almost 1 billion soft sister coins could be handled.

Since reaching an agreement with China Mobile in April, Penguin can already support itself through mobile value-added services, and even generate one or two million profits per month.

In other words, Bomi’s gaming platform now does not need to supply Penguin anymore, and can generate about 20 million yuan in net profits for the company every month.

Now there are more than 60 million yuan in Bomi’s account.

The company's financial department's valuation of Bomi is 2 billion.

If Bomi is mortgaged to the bank, it can lend at least 1 billion yuan.

"What? Do you want to buy at the bottom?" Xiong Xiaoge shook his head, "I don't recommend entering the market at this time. The Nasdaq bubble burst and has not recovered yet. Who knows when it will fall.

If I were you, I would have so much money to continue to expand reproduction. Wouldn’t it be good to do more games?"

"Actually, what I think is that our country's hardware is relatively backward. If we can become Apple's major shareholder, is it possible..."

“Nothing is possible.”

Xiong Xiaoge shook his head, "Do you know the Wanasan Agreement? A group of capitalist countries held a collusion meeting on patent blockade. Apple's core technology is definitely the top priority in the United States. Even the allies East Island cannot get, and it is even more impossible to give it to China.

Even if you become a major shareholder of Apple, you will never be able to obtain their core technology.”

Well……

Cao Yang, who was already holding a little fantasy, was poured with a basin of cold water.

Sure enough, I'm still too young.

Didn’t Lenovo’s acquisition of IBM not get their core technology?

“But if you really want to acquire American businesses, I can introduce you to a law firm that operates much more professionally than I do.”

"Okay, thank you."

...

The two of them ate hot pot for a while and chatted until late at night before they parted.

Before leaving, Cao Yang asked more:

"Brother Xiong, if I want to hire you to Bomi as the head of the strategic department and the company's vice president, would you like?"
